What is the source for this info?
Where are Benny Hinn's assets?

And kudos for yet another interesting post!

http://www.ministrywatch.com/

Benny Hinn does not report anything to anyone. That is why he is not on there. Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, etc do not report to anyone and have no financial accountability.

Yeah I knew Benny has refused to report the business side to some of the ministry watchdog groups. That part was tongue in cheek. He also runs from Dateline camera crews.

Someone else can enlighten on specifics of what these organizations do. Many of them are doing the Lord's work in a direct way. The question that comes to my mind is how many accountable organizations like these lose a percentage of revenue to overhead that is anywhere near what the Gov't loses?

Didn't Benny purchase a jumbo jet with some of his money.

For what it's worth, there is data on that site that is as much as 10 years out of date. If they want to truly say who the top ministries are, then they need to do a better job tracking them all down and getting current information imo.

I wonder if it is the plane he used to take Paula White to Rome, where they were busted holding hands in public, walking in and out of their hotel. Wonder if pastor Benny joined the mile high club? Those people have got to be demonic to flip God the finger, flip the church the finger, and think that their actions do not have consequences. I should have destroyed his hearing when I had a chance. He would not be able to take people like does now.

Those figures are crazy Brent, I remember ex World Vision CEO remarking how they had huge wages and less than 10c from every dollar committed was sent to actually help people.

From: Trust by PDC

There's so many people preachin'.
Everybody's on TV
talkin' 'bout the souls their reachin'
and the money they need from me.
Everyday for them is vacation
in their mansions out on the beach.
I think I'll start my own denomination.
Please make your checks out to me!

Chorus
This is why I don't trust you now!
I don't trust you now.
I don't trust you now.
I don't trust you now.

Brent you know we are going to make this movie mate..

If I believed everything I saw on the cover of the national inquirer, I'd be in deep trouble...

Normally, I would agree. However, in this case, both parties have admitted it happened. So, nice try.
